I thought this was the Lesbian Vampire trope page. Shouldn't male examples go in their own page? Like Gay Vampire or something like that. Also, we could fill sections on that page with Lesbian Vampire examples, calling them inversions or gender-flipped versions of the Gay Vampire trope.

I agree. Just make a Spear Counterpart page a la the Hot Mom/Hot Dad or Mama Bear/Papa Wolf tropes; seems like there'd be enough examples to justify it, and the two vampire-types in question are different enough that would probably make separate tropes worth it.

It's pointless to ever say "Technically Bisexual" the origin of the term Lesbian refereed to a Bisexual, and this Trope exists in Vampire Fiction because Vampires don't have orientation at all. Even Carmilla herself has been depicted with some male lovers.

Whatever the term 'lesbian' referred to in its beginnings, it isn't a synonym to 'bisexual' now. I don't think there's a problem; or do I somehow misunderstand you?

Regarding Carmilla — strictly speaking, we can't know her preference. That Baron Vordenburg's ancestor was in love with her doesn't mean he also was her lover in practice. We don't know if she returned his love. What is clear is that, as a vampire, she exclusively sucks blood from women — whatever that means.
